These enlarged glands produce more sebum, and the excess sebum mixes with dead skin cells and both substances form a plug in the follicle. When this plugged follicle is close to your skin’s surface, it creates the whitehead or blackhead. Other factors may include: Greasy cosmetics Stress Lack of good nutrition Genetics Some medications that contain androgen and lithium Menstruation Pregnancy Smoking Treatments: Platelet Rich Plasma Hydrafacial Skin Peels Celluma LED therapy Obagi Clenziderm Kit Laser Skin Rejuvenation Microdermabrasion
